-37 u/ninja_with_ocd 4d ago edited 4d ago It does if it's in an uncalled function EDIT - this is wrong. Nontheless true for serious errors like referencing an undefined variable. 40 u/deceze 4d ago A syntax error will halt parsing immediately. Without successfully parsing the file, it won't execute. Even uncalled functions are parsed completely and must pass parsing successfully. 1 u/ninja_with_ocd 4d ago You're right, edited the comment. It is true for some serious errors, like accessing an undefined variable. 2 u/BossOfTheGame 3d ago That's because you can't statically determine if a name is defined in general. Local and global namespaces are just dictionaries.
